We are new to the country and are not familiar with the customs. Today we were invited to a quinceanera. We are American, and I had never heard of this although my kids learned about it in Spanish class. How do we dress? Are we expected to bring a gift, and if so, what is appropriate? Thanks in advance.

A quinceanera is the same thing as a sweet 16 party except it is celebrated on a girls 15th birthday, so go about it the same way you would a sweet sixteen. Dress semi formal (dress for the women and dinner blazer for men) and bring a gift, but a birthday card with cash is always better.
